North by Northwest (1959) *#


North by Northwest is my first Alfred Hitchcock movie, and yes I have a lot of catching up to do. North by Northwest is an excellent action thriller starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. A mistaken identity leads an unsuspecting man to be thrown into the world of spies and government agency. When Roger Thornhill (Grant) is mistaken for a government agent by a gang of spies, he finds himself in a situation where he can't talk his way out of. Suddenly he is on the run from both the spies and the government across the country in an attempt to clear his name and figure out what is really going on. Along the way, he gets a little help from a beautiful stranger (Saint), who also becomes a part of his adventure. Hitchcock truly knows how to build up suspense and keep you entertained throughout the movie. Most of you probably have already had the chance to see this classic film. If you haven't, be sure to check this one out sometime. Any recommendations on which Hitchcock movie should be next on my list?

  1. Thank for the comment Yong!
    and I'm glad we have no teams that truly butt heads!! (I was dating a Yankees/Jets fan not too long ago... if that wasn't disastrous!)

    I suppose my secret to having a good football team is that I am in a smaller league.
    Not to mention I am also in an all girls league, which some are knowledgeable in football as me, though some just pick the cute players they know haha.

    Bulls and Celtics play tonight! Don't forget to tune in!
